Create a Book Launch Video that sells the story
Hand Pexo your blurb, your cover, and a few key scenes. It writes the script, narrates it, scores it, and cuts a cinematic book trailer that builds intrigue without spoiling the ending, ready to post the day you launch.
Everything an author needs to launch a book on video
Turn a prompt or a photo into a finished book launch video
Start from a single line of text or a product photo. Pexo writes the script, generates every shot, and stitches them into one continuous, edited video. You can mix text to video, image to video, and script to video inside the same project, and stay in plain language the whole way. No timelines, no keyframes, no editor to open.
One narration, many languages
Pexo adds narration to your book launch video with natural AI voices, and can clone a specific voice so the delivery stays on brand. Need it in other markets? It dubs the same video into multiple languages with the timing preserved, so one cut reaches every audience without a re-record.
Bring the cover and key scenes to life
Drop in your cover art and a line of description for each beat, and Pexo animates them into moving shots that set the tone of the book. It reads the mood of your story and stages a reveal that hints at the plot without giving it away. Characters, objects, and the cover itself stay consistent from shot to shot, so the trailer feels like one cohesive film rather than a slideshow. You go from a still cover to a trailer that makes people want to read.
A score written for this video
Pexo generates an original soundtrack tuned to the mood and pacing of your book launch video, so you are not digging through stock libraries or risking a copyright strike. Tell it the feel you want, energetic, cinematic, calm, and it scores the cut and mixes the levels under the narration automatically.
One book launch video, every aspect ratio
Pexo delivers your book launch video natively in 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, and 1:1 for feeds, up to 4K and anywhere from 5 to 120 seconds. Each aspect ratio is generated fresh for that screen, with the composition framed for it rather than cropped down from one master. Ask for several formats at once and post the right version to every channel. It looks intentional everywhere it lands.
Authors are launching their books with Pexo
I wrote one paragraph describing my book and Pexo turned it into a trailer that actually captured the mood. My preorders doubled the week it went live.
I had no editing skills and no budget for a film crew. Pexo scripted, narrated, and scored the whole thing, and it looked genuinely cinematic.
We launch a few titles a quarter, so I needed something fast and repeatable. Pexo gives each book its own trailer in an afternoon instead of a week.
Book launch video questions
How do I make a book launch video?+
Describe your book in a sentence or paste your blurb, add your cover and any key images, and Pexo writes the script, generates the shots, adds narration and music, and edits everything into a finished trailer. You can start from text to video or from your cover with image to video.
What should a book trailer include?+
Introduce the premise, the tone, and a hint of the central conflict, then end on a clear call to action like preorder or buy now. The goal is to create intrigue, so show enough to hook a reader without giving away the plot or the ending.
Can I make one without any editing skills?+
Yes. Pexo runs the whole pipeline for you, so there are no timelines or keyframes to touch. You describe the book and approve the cut, and it handles the script, the voiceover, the soundtrack, and the transitions.
How long should a book launch video be?+
Most book trailers land between 15 and 60 seconds, short enough to hold attention on social feeds. Pexo can generate anywhere from 5 to 120 seconds, so you can make a tight teaser and a longer cut from the same project.
What formats do I need for social media?+
Post a 16:9 cut on YouTube, a 1:1 square for feeds, and a 9:16 vertical for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts. Pexo generates each ratio framed for that screen, so you can launch on every platform at once with one launch video project.
Do I need to narrate it myself?+
No. Pexo adds natural AI narration from your script and can clone a voice if you want a specific delivery. It can also dub the trailer into other languages while keeping the timing, so you can reach readers in more markets.
